LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County, Florida, based on the testimony and evidence, including, but not limited to the staff report, has made the following determinations: 1. Petition of Avanti Storage for a variance from the provisions of LDC Section 7.05.06.(C.)(2.)(f.)(3.) — Driveway Requirements, for a driveway with left turn movements, on a corner lot, 175 feet from the base building line representing a 175-foot reduction from the required 350 feet for property located at 2835 Hammond Road in the IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District. 2. On May 24, 2023, this Board held a public hearing on the petition, after publishing a notice of such hearing, installing a sign on the property, and notifying by mail all owners of property within 500 feet of the subject property. 3. After consideration of the testimony presented during the public hearing, including staff comments, exhibits, and the standards of review for granting variances set out in Section 10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the Board of Adjustment has made the following determinations: The requested variance has met the standards of review as set forth in Section 10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, because: a. The granting of the requested variance arises from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land as the subject parcel meets the required lot size and dimensional criteria for IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District but cannot satisfy the minimum 350 feet distance from the base building line to the driveway to allow for left turn movements, the subject parcel abuts a residential zoning district and relocating the driveway further north on the property will result in a smaller buffer between vehicular movements and the adjacent residential properties, and the Fort Pierce Farms Water Control (FPFWC) canal to the south of the subject parcel allows for a great distance between the existing northernmost travel lane in St. Lucie Blvd. and the proposed driveway. Moreover, the only entry to the Property is via Hammond Road and by left turn, unless the vehicles using this Light Industrial site continue by the property into the adjacent residential area and make U-turns, or otherwise turn around to come back to the property for a right turn onto it. b. The granting of the requested variance will not impair or otherwise injure other property or improvements in the area in which the subject property is located.
